The inaugural Materials for Quantum Technology - Horizon Scanning UK Conference for Early Career Researchers was held at the University of Cambridge on 20-21 November 2023.
This two-day (midday to midday) conference was an opportunity designed to bring together early career researchers to identify the major materials challenges/opportunities for future quantum technologies. There was plenty of opportunity for networking and getting to know others in the early career community.
The conference featured a series of invited research presentations from leading early-mid career researchers who work across quantum research and on a range of emerging material platforms for quantum technology, including molecular materials, semiconductors, defects in solids, two-dimensional materials, semiconducting quantum dots and cold atoms.
